During the Orient Phase of the FST 13 Step Process, which task is performed?

During the Orient Phase the focus is on grounding the team in the battlefield by establishing where you are and how you relate to the surrounding terrain and friendly forces. Determining your own location on the map and in the field is essential because it lets you accurately reference targets, align fire control data, and coordinate with the GFC and adjacent elements. This situates all subsequent actions, such as synchronizing timing, briefing the team, or incorporating any updates from higher, on a correct frame of reference. Establishing timing, briefing the FIST, or waiting for intents and updates from the GFC are tasks that fit into later steps after the initial orientation and location have been fixed.
